Tourist Day in Iceland - Afternoon Geyser, Waterfalls and Pingvellir National Park

After lunch, we headed back inland to 'do the Golden Circle'.I didn't record the name of the first waterfall so if you recognise it, grateful for the info. The Geysir performed well against the setting sun. Arrangements have changed since my last visited to Gullfoss so, in winter, there is no access to the waterfall itself so only this rather distorted view from the top. The icy path down that we took in 2008 can be seen in the photo along with people on the viewing platform to give scale. The rift valley that constitutes the Pingvellir National Park looked great in the dusk light. Although there was not enough time to consider the best compositions and setting for photos during the hectic day, we agreed a great day out.
